Halloween is for sure my favorite time of year. The weather, the leaves, the outings, the horror movies.... It's no wonder that I have a whole playlist for it. I call mine "Super Spoopy Fun Times". You can call yours whatever you please, but you definitely need to have these songs in it.
1. Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeah
A female lead singer, a good beat, and a Halloween-y theme. What more can you ask for?
2. The Songs From Hocus Pocus
Now it's nearly impossible to find the actual Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker tracks, so I really enjoy these covers by Traci Hines.
3. The Nightmare Revisited Album
Yes, the whole album. Honestly, it's so good. Basically, they got together a bunch of really cool bands and people to cover the songs from Nightmare Before Christmas. Marilyn Manson does This Is Halloween, All-American Rejects do Jack's Lament, Flyleaf does What's This, Korn covers Kidnap the Sandy Claws, Amy Lee from Evanescence sang Sally's Song, the Plain White T's cover Poor Jack, and more! Above is one of my favorite covers because Boogie is one of my favorite villains.
4. Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell
This song will forever scream Halloween to me. Probably has something to do with the Twilight Zone and Pyscho references....
5. Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jr.
When have you been at a Halloween party and NOT heard this?
6. Time Warp - Rocky Horror Picture Show
Rocky Horror is a beloved Halloween tradition at Ball State so it's no wonder I associate this song with Halloween.
7. Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon
If you recognize that music, that's because Kid Rock took it for All Summer Long, but Werewolves of London.
8. Witch Doctor - David Seville
So this is actually the guy who created the Chipmunks, but this is just him and his own voice sped up.
9. Disturbia - Rihanna
Not traditionally a Halloween song, but I think it works.
10. Freakshow - Britney Spears
I actually got the idea for this song from a friend's playlist and I think it fits well.
11. Superstition - Stevie Wonder
This song always gives me Haunted Mansion with Eddie Murphy vibes.
12. Thriller - Michael Jackson
You had to know this was gonna be on here. How could it not be?
13. Witchcraft - Frank Sinatra
A little tame for this playlist, but it's one of my favorites.
14. Monster - Lady Gaga
15. Cannibal - Ke$ha
16. Highway to Hell - AC/DC
17. Monster Mash - Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers
Another Halloween party classic for you.
18. Disney Halloween Medley - Jon Cozart & Voctave
If you're a Disney fan, this is necessary.
19. Evil - Dove Cameron
I know this is from Descendants. I know I'm a child. But this song is so good!
20. Halloween - John Carpenter
I mean, besides being the theme to one of the best known horror movies of all time, it's pretty catchy to listen to if you're trying to get ready.
